“International Women’s Day” ending up on the only 23 hour day of the year.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

mein take ist ja immer noch dass kunstschaffende theoretisch working class wären aber weil eh die meisten aus mittel- und oberschicht kontexten stammen haben sie zero klassenbewusstsein i mean wie auch mit geld status und sicherheit im rücken

to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be

Cuba Will Now Allow Trans People to Change Gender Markers Without Bottom Surgery A new law allows trans Cubans to update their identification cards by request without providing proof of genital surgery.

"A new law allows trans Cubans to update their identification cards by request without providing proof of genital surgery."

UNBELIEVABLE: McDonald’s already got a NEW CEO to take another stab at eating the Big Arch burger. Much better than the first video!

this sucks. no patience for the people laughing at it, calling it concord 2.0, etc. if 2 million people pick up a game, and you have to shutter it and lay everyone off, it doesn't matter if the game is good or bad. it's a symptom of a much bigger and deeper problem.

whoops

The past couple of final fantasies tried to be about deep political fractures and were chasing game of thrones style aesthetics. Of course kids dont like them, they arent for them.

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

I was going to say that there is no way he is stupid enough to say this out loud, but he's already gotten everything he wanted. Even if Trump is removed from power tomorrow, he still has his genocide. Still has his war. Still has his stolen land. Still has his American senators.

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying
